Ayumu's Favors. | 003

"Damn it!" Noya gritted his teeth as he ran towards one of the small cafes in their area.

The proud libero woke up a litter later than usual. In most days, it wasn't much of a problem. However, Noya requested more study sessions since he felt more nervous as days came by. He wanted to meet at his house, but his stupid tutor wanted to go out in a cafe using it as the third request. Noya agreed since it wasn't a hard one.

Noya entered the cafe panting, eyes shifting around, looking for a light-grey haired male.

'Ah,' his brown eyes locked on the figure near the window. The other boy was silently drinking his drink while browsing on his phone. Ayumu was wearing casual clothing with simple black-rimmed glasses covering his gem-like eyes. Noya stayed there, watching the other for a few seconds.

"Oh, just talk to him," a girl behind the libero muttered to their friend. His eyes glanced at them, narrowing in... 'What?' He scrunched his nose as he felt his phone vibrate. He grabbed it and checked. He received a text from the other boy.

"I'll give you five seconds to come here. If your now here by then, I'm gone. Stop eyeing those girls."

"Oi!" Noya shouted, attracting attention. "I wasn't eyeing them! I already have Kiyoko-san!" 

He received a smile that was now very familiar but still made him flustered. He doesn't understand why perhaps an effect of the other's looks. 'This bastard is sure on of god's favorites,' he mused.

"Hello to you too, Noya-san."

-----------------------------------------------

"With that, I think you're pretty much ready, almighty stupid-one." Ayumu's student was surprisingly quiet today. The boy thought it was probably due to the exam in two days. "You don't have to be nervous, Noya-san. At the least, you'll be able to be at the average rank with what we've done. Thank you for your hard work," he gave the boy a gentle smile, unaware of the other's thoughts.

'Why is he so nice today?' Noya shuddered. In their previous sessions, his tutor was being kind despite an irritating weird person, but today was exceptional. There was something about his tutor's aura that was gentle and oddly attractive. Of course, Noya would never share his thoughts with anybody. He always thought that Kamedori had an intimidating vibe, but now, it was relaxed.

"Ah, for now- we should probably enjoy our time to relax a bit and review a little more after," hazel eyes glinted mischievously as the boy hummed in thought, "shall we finish all the remaining requests today?"

"Huh?!" Noya shouted, fearing for his soul.

-----------------------------------------------

"What?" Noya asked the second time, rubbing a finger in his ear. 'Did I hear that correctly?'

"Call me by my first name," the other boy stated, 'Where is that shop?' his eyes shifted around the streets.

"Okay," the shorter of the two looked around weirdly before shrugging. Noya wasn't going to complain at such an easy, but odd request.

Ayumu snorted as he glanced at the libero before looking back at the shops. "Don't tell me you don't know it," he deadpanned.

"Bastard, of course I do! It's A-.." Noya licked his lips and gulped nervously. He knew Kamedori's name. Everyone in their year knew the prince's name. He doesn't know why he found it so hard to say. Perhaps it was the fact no one in school has ever called the other's first name except Suga, who was his close relative. Most people just called him 'Mr. Handsome', by his last name, or some stupid nickname. Many girls would try to call him but using his first name, but they all would feel a sudden chill, and forget about doing it.

"Ha?" Ayumu wondered if the other truly did forget his name. 'Wow, what is he thinking?' he tried to hide his amusement as he watched different emotions paint the other boy's face, clearly showing an internal struggle. A small smirk slipped, and Noya immediately noticed it.

"Tch," Noya walked several steps ahead of his tutor, before turning back and pointing at him. "Ayumu!" he shouted, "There, are you happy? You weird bastard!"

Ayumu couldn't help but chuckle. "Yes, I am," he answered happily.

"Ah," Noya stopped as his arm fell on his side quickly turned around. "I wouldn't mind if you call me Yuu since I'm the only one-" he cleared his throat. "Where are we going? Are we lost?!" he asked, changing the subject.

The light-grey haired boy's eye's widen before his lips paint the most gentle smile

"Yuu," he called, the name to foreign lips, but it felt right, "you're going the wrong way."

-----------------------------------------------

"You're going to choke," Ayumu warned the other, but it was too late. Noya already started choking, with a sigh, he handed the other a drink. 

Noya drank quickly, coughing as he grabbed another slice of pizza. "This is good!"

"Yes," Ayumu agreed, it was favorite place, after all. He watched as the hamster- no, the other boy stuff his face with more pizza.

"So, what's your other request?" 

"I'll ask you by the end of the day," the tutor sipped his drink, averting his eyes from the other.

"You," the libero frowned as he chews. "Stop trying to look cool, and answer the damn question."

"But, I'm not acting, I am cool." the other argued, stating what other people have told him.

"Ugh, I don't even know why other people like you. Don't you feel anything when you said that?" Noya shuddered.

"You only say that, but you know it too."

"I-" Noya paused, "damn it."

-----------------------------------------------

Noya gasped.

An amusement park.

They were in an amusement park.

He didn't even know there was an amusement park in this part of Miyagi.

"So, this is your last request?" he stupidly gaped at his tutor, who looked around with an impressed expression.

"Ha?" Ayumu scoffed. "No, I just wanted to go around and enjoy today. Then, I remembered the amusement park at the last minute." Noya knew Ayumu liked planning, so he was surprised to hear that it wasn't part of his plan.

'Wait, so this isn't part of your request?' Noya questioned. "Then no, I don't want to do it!" he grumbled. Contrary, he would love to go around the amusement park for free, but hearing it wasn't part of the five favors, he felt nervous about the remaining one.

"Ah, okay. I'll see you then." Ayumu shrugged and started walking towards the entrance. "You know the way home, right?" he waved goodbye. It was disappointing, but he was itching to ride the rollercoaster. However, he knew his student quite well. He started mentally counting.

"What?" Noya watched the other slowly fade from his vision. "Oi! I-I was kidding! Take me with you!"
